indoors Arrival Story:My son called me telling me about a cat in Pet Smart he wanted us to adopt, a black smoke female that looked much like Ashley (a black smoke who crossed the bridge years ago) and Midnight (a small black longhair who crossed the bridge peacefully at 3:05 AM Tuesday, April 17, 2012 & whose profile I will soon put up on Catster). I agreed and the next day we drove to Pet Smart to adopt the cat. The cats in that particular Pet Smart are from a very dedicated hard-working small cat rescue group that rescues cats from very high kill shelters, gets all the necessary vet work done for them & then puts them up for adoption. I decided to adopt two cats so on 8-18-12 Farrah, the black smoke longhair female and Moose, a black shorthair male came home & joined my feline family.Bio:Farrah is an extremely sweet, quiet, loveable little cat. She gets along with the other cats, is clean in her litter pan habits, and is very well behaved. I don't know why anyone would ever dump a cat such as this in a shelter in the first place!Lives Remaining:9 of 9I've Been On Catster Since:

Farrah's Whispers

Over the past several months, too many of our family members have had to answer the call of the Rainbow Bridge. However, just when it seemed our family was due to remain smaller, another call came. This call came from the relatives of a friend of a friend of Mom's, via Mom's friend. "Can you take in two cats?" my friend asked Mom. "Why?" Mom asked.

The friend answered, "the relatives want rid of their cats now and they're going to take the cats to animal control. Now this happened at the time that the Indianapolis Animal Control was euthanizing all their cats due to an outbreak of panleukopenia at that facility. Mom's friend reminded her friend that the cats would get euthanized. The reply was that the relatives didn't care, they just wanted rid of the cats.

The cats in question were a blue and white longhair named Smokey and a black and white "tuxedo" pattern longhair named Boots. Not wanting to see the cats end up dead for no good reason, Mom agreed to take the two cats. Thus it was that the big cat cage in the living room didn't stay empty for long! During the past two weeks, Smokey and Boots have been getting acquainted with the rest of us through the bars of their cage. Smokey and Boots have been here two weeks now, are pretty friendly with us through the bars of their cage with no hissing, so tonight for the first time, Mom will let them explore part of the house as part of the process of letting them get used to being loose in the house. Mom will put them on Catster once they have become confident enough that Mom can take good pictures of them.

Now you've heard it said "I heard it through the grapevine" but in this case we say, "I heard it through the nip vine." Now nip stands for catnip and I know catnip doesn't grow on a vine. But I really wanted to make this rhyme.

Now don't say I'm a gossip, because what I tell is true. I'm dishing all the dirt on my family to you. Well, not all of it...gotta save some for another entry...a bit of suspense for my readers, you see.

Uno is kinda naked on the bottom half of her body and legs. She has psychogenic alopecia (the vet said probably because she's been stressed out with Mom's surgery and everything involved). Uno also likes to steal dog food out of the dog food bag.

Lucy Liu is back in kitty jail again and back on steroids again because of bad diarrhea again. She stays in good condition in spite of it though. The vet doesn't know what causes it but at least it responds to steroids.

Gyselle likes to duck her head under the running faucet and lets the water run down her face. Moose just likes to drink from the faucet.

Dova is the computer geek of the family. He's always trying to mess with the laptop.

Speaking of Dova, I heard Dova, Moo, and Jag are going to get neutered soon, probably within the next week or so.

Destiny's nickname is Mouth and she still hasn't learned what shut up or quiet means. At least she's careful not to step on us when we get in her way.

A backhanded compliment, Mom says some of us who had flea allergy look like cats again now our coats have grown back. She said that includes me. I tried to tell her I was just trying out a new hairstyle.

That's all for now. Thanks for reading. And to whoever whispered, "Gossip queen" at me, I'll get you back next time I write!

To all our Catster friends whose birthdays, gotcha days, anniversaries, bridge days etc we've failed to acknowledge, we would like to apologize to you and ask for your understanding. Its been a tough few weeks with connection problems. We got our connection back on Monday but the last few days Mom has had a lot of things to do and hasn't been able to get online much. Yesterday, for instance, Mom was gone all day, had a lot of work to do, and finally found time today to get online for this short time before she has to be gone all weekend.

When Mom came online now, she found she had missed several friends birthdays, gotcha days, bridge days, etc. and she feels very bad about missing them. We want everyone to know we greatly appreciate our Catster friends and try to acknowledge everyone's special days. So please forgive us when we occasionally miss someone and know that even when we fail to acknowledge a special day here on Catster, you are still in our hearts.
